396. Chapter 391 Whatever You Fear, It Will Come True
The summer sunset is always particularly gorgeous. Even fishermen born on the island will never get tired of watching it.
Especially the low-tide mudflats, under the illumination of the sunset, show colorful colors.
After sending Director Zhang Qingyun and his uncle Chen Dongqing away, Li Duoyu sat on the stone pier of the dock. He suddenly wanted to have a cigarette. As a result, he touched his pocket and found that all the cigarettes were taken away by his uncle.
Li Duoyu found that those who were engaged in research had very low family status. Because they were usually in the research base, his aunt simply saved all the money for his cigarettes.
During the summer vacation, there were a lot of children playing at the dock. Several of them were holding simple small fishing rods to fish for small groupers in the gaps of the dock.
Xiao Pangdun was also playing at the dock, holding a long pole and a scoop net in his hand, followed by several of his classmates.
He kept running around the dock and scooped up small fish immediately after seeing a school of small fish.
This scooping method usually results in 10 empty scoops.
But it was different in summer.
At the turn of spring and summer, there are many marine fish breeding seasons. By this time, the small fish are almost grown up.
In order to avoid being preyed upon by natural enemies, these small fish will move near the shore, and the pier is the best place to take shelter.
When the breeding season comes, the pier is full of these small fish.
Even if it is a child, as long as he is quick, he can catch more than ten or twenty small fish as big as two fingers with one net.
Li Haoran and his classmates were very happy to catch small fish. In a short while, they caught half a bucket of small fish.
Then, he brought the fish to Old Man Mi: "Old Mi, how much do you want for this fish?"
Wearing a vest and waving a palm leaf fan, Old Man Mi looked disgusted:
"Such small fish, why are you catching them? Hurry up and throw them back. Besides, the fish on the dock are so dirty, and they smell like diesel. The children of the old Lu family squat there and shit for them to eat every day."
After hearing what Old Man Mi said, the children looked a little ugly. When they thought that these small fish grew up eating shit, they couldn't help but feel disgusted.
"There is a public toilet but he still goes to the dock to poop. Next time I see him, I will beat him to the point of shit."
Old man Mi glared and said, "You are so young, why do you always want to fight? And you are disrespectful. I am of the same generation as your grandpa. You should call me Grandpa Mi, do you understand?"
The children looked at each other, and then grinned at Old Man Mi and said, "Old Mi, Old Mi, Old Mi"
Old man Mi's face was dark: "So rude, believe it or not, I will report your teacher Zhou."
"People who like to tell tales will have stinky mouths. We are not afraid of that tigress."
Hearing this, Li Duoyu raised his eyebrows slightly and coughed twice.
After hearing the voice, several children looked over to him, and when they found out that it was the village director, their faces turned black.
The village director is the husband of their class teacher. If they go back and tell this, they will scold the class teacher as a tigress, and they will be finished.
The little fat boy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in fear and said quickly: "Uncle, it wasn't me who said that, it was Zhang Han who said that."
The boat of friendship can capsize at any time.
The kid named Zhang Han was so scared that his face turned pale and he started crying on the spot.
The old man Mi on the side said happily: "Duoyu, you are still awesome. These naughty kids need a bad guy like you to deal with them."
"How am I a bad guy?"
The old man Mi laughed and said: "When you and Agui were here before, that gangster whistled happily. When my grandson was not well behaved, I directly told you to punish him, and we instantly competed to see who was well behaved."
Li Duoyu had a dark face, always feeling that his reputation was so bad, and the old man Mi contributed a little.
Maybe because of his actual age, Li Duoyu especially likes places with many children. With them, he feels particularly energetic.
Li Duoyu stretched his body. As the number of breeding projects increased, he found that there were too many things to do.
Next, the most important thing must be the grilled eel.
According to the early plan, Li Duoyu wanted to build a set of grilled eel production line.
But later he thought that it was not necessary, because after the eels were grilled, they must be packaged, and in this era, packaging equipment is very expensive, and most of them are imported.
In terms of the current scale of eels, there is really no need to spend such a waste of money.
However, Li Duoyu has other plans. The cooperation with the island country has just begun, and the two sides are in the stage of building mutual trust.
When the output value of trade increases in the future, the eel farming industry will also be large-scale, and maybe he will not need to buy a grilled eel production line.
The island country may cooperate with him and invest in a grilled eel factory together.
Under the bridge of Director Wu, Li Duoyu has reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Director Liu of the Shangfeng Town Aquatic Products Processing Factory. Director Liu will temporarily set up a grilled eel production line.
At that time,
Li Duoyu only needs to transport the live eels to them and provide the seasoning for the grilled eels and the standards for grilled eels.
They are responsible for grilling eels and packaging.
In addition to grilling eels, Li Duoyu also has to start considering the eel farming plan for next year.
After all, there is a large order of 100,000 eels in hand, and the current seven eel ponds are definitely not enough to raise them.
The ponds have to be dug further.
Staff have to be recruited further.
At present, the dike construction is handed over to my brother-in-law, and Li Duoyu is quite relieved.
As for the matter of collecting oyster seedlings just discussed with the Fisheries Research Institute, it is not very difficult, and Li Duoyu plans to hand it over to Chen Wenchao.
To collect oyster seedlings, you have to make oyster rows.
There happened to be a batch of second-age oysters on the tidal flat, and they were about to be moved to a place with a slightly higher salt content for breeding. It just happened that we could do it together.
Chen Wenchao is also familiar with Brother Ou. If this matter is left to him, there should be no problem.
Besides, this boy has been with me for more than a year. Apart from being responsible for eel feed, he currently does other chores.
And as Minlong Food grows bigger and bigger, there will only be more and more things to do. If Li Duoyu does everything by himself, Li Duoyu will probably be exhausted.
Li Duoyu planned to manage such a relatively delicate matter as the eel factory by himself, and usually his second brother would help manage it.
Blue crab farming is the responsibility of his brother-in-law, and Chen Wenchao can let him be independently responsible for oyster and kelp farming.
In the past, Li Duoyu didn't understand why his boss always seemed unhappy despite making so much money.
Now he understands a little bit, because money is earned, not blown by strong winds. The more you earn, the more things you have to worry about.
As the sun sets, the light becomes weaker and weaker.
There was light smoke coming out of the chimneys of many tile-roofed houses. Some parents who had already prepared meals stood in their yards and shouted towards the pier:
"Black Pig, stop playing and go home for dinner."
There was a child on the other side of the pier who was as tan as black coal and replied:
"Okay, go back right away."
But while he was shouting that he wanted to go back, his feet showed no intention of leaving, and he continued to play with other children at the pier.
At this time, those who built the embankment also started to stop their work, carrying shovels and hoes and walking towards their homes.
Li Duoyu stood up, pulled down his pants, pulled out the pants that were stuck in his butt crack, and then walked towards his home.
Unexpectedly, on the way back, Li Duoyu discovered that the health station that had been closed for more than half a year had reopened, and the kerosene lamps were on.
There was also a villager inside who had just finished taking medicine and asked:
"Defa, can these few pills cure my disease? Do you want to prescribe more for me?"
Zhang Defa said disgustedly: "You think the more medicine you take, the faster you will get better. Besides, you don't have any disease. It's just that you have a bad stomach after eating."
"But I've had it for many days."
Zhang Defa frowned and said, "The sea water is not clean recently, so just eat less shellfish."
Hearing that the sea water was unclean and that someone had diarrhea after eating shellfish, Li Duoyu frowned and had a very bad premonition.
When he was about to ask Zhang Defa what was going on, the other party greeted him first:
"Duoyu, when will you be back? Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
Li Duoyu asked: "When did you come back."
Zhang Defa replied: "I have been back for several days, and I went to your house to look for you. Your mother said that you went out of town."
"I just had time during the summer vacation, so I went to their hometown with Xiaoying."
Li Duoyu asked:
"By the way, why did you just say that the sea water is not clean?"
Zhang Defa replied: "In the past few days since I came back, many people have had stomachaches and came to me to get medicine. After asking several people, they all found out that they had eaten clams or razor clams."
Li Duoyu asked anxiously: "Has the sea water been glowing in the past two days?"
"There's a glow."
Li Duoyu frowned and couldn't help cursing secretly: "Whatever you are afraid of, just do it. Breeding is really not a worry at all." (End of Chapter)
